Carlo Cudicini is to undergo wrist and pelvic surgery today, after his “life-changing” motorbike crash yesterday morning. It has since been revealed many of Spurs‘ senior ranks didn’t know the keeper even owned a bike.

Every Premier League footballer has a standard clause written into their contract, banning them from taking part in anything which could affect their ability to train or play.

As Cudicini’s bike had apparently never been seen around Spurs’ training ground before, The Times are reporting he could possibly fall foul of a breach of contract, putting a spanner in the works of any insurance claims.
